Education

Schools, after school facilities, preschools and any other facility that houses children are ideal places to use SGG™ products. Entrances and specifically the glass in the doors, side lites, and windows are the weakest point of entry at any school. By protecting the first floor of the exterior of the building, as well as the interior classroom doors, students can be kept away from violent offenders. Administration offices need protection too. As the people in charge of implementing the schools safety plan it is vital that they can safely do so.

More schools are being designed with entrance vestibules that have an “admission” area. This is a room where a school official can interact with parents and others who have school business but do not necessarily need access to the entire school. These people are typically separated by glass that has a Bullet Rating (BR) of at least 5 (to stop a 7.62 mm rifle). School Guard Glass™ can provide a range of products and frames for building these transaction windows as well.

As a parent of two children in elementary school and another who will be soon, the prospect of a stranger breaking into my local school used to keep me up at night. At the end of 2012 we devised a plan to keep intruders out. We believe that with enough warning schools can protect our children until law enforcement arrives.

The SGG team is constantly overcoming new challenges presented by our customers, governmental departments and testing results. We can respond quickly to questions regarding the retrofitting of existing structures, specific design requirements and the integration of new materials into old systems.
